Ways of Plants: Calendula!

Herb and Print-Making Class

Tuesday, August 5, 2025

* 5:30-8:30pm * Fireweed Community Woodshop

Print-making artist Jessie Merriam and I continue our series of deep-dives into one single plant. We crowd-sourced the question of which plant to focus on next -

and the winner was Calendula!

I'll share what I know about the history and botany of the plant, and we'll discuss medicinal and culinary uses, and do some sampling. Then Jessie will lead us in creating our own woodblock prints honoring this long-blooming beauty. Participants will go home with their prints and a tin of calendula flower salve!

We'll have time while carving for more conversation about this bright and helpful plant!
